Electronic Basics #5: How to Multiplex Hans: Any rule of thumb regarding duty cycles and refresh rates or points to get started? I'm currently designing a nibble display for an 8bit cpu, why is meant to use 7 7-segment displays. Multiplexing is done by switching the common anode. There's a 4-12MHz clock signal I could easily use (Adding a 555 at a lower rate shouldn't be a problem) and I'd see myself ending up with a duty cycle of 15% - would that work? I'm aware the segments might show junk while running code on the CPU at full speed. It's meant as a debug aid when putting the CPU into single step mode.

If you replace the LEDs with sensors, like linear-motion spring loaded potentiometers for example; can I find the location of a ball on the grid, as it rolls across the sliding pieces of the potentiometers sticking up? My hope is that I can get analog signals from the grid to very accurately locate the center of something on the grid, without needing the stuff for timing. (I actually have a different sensor in mind, but the linear potentiometer is useful for the example)

Hi greatscott i have a dummy question for you. :) what the material you use for make jumper line on your circuit. What metal or allow. i use some and never he lead stick on it. BTW sorry for my bad English im from Quebec in Canada HA-HA

i was wracking my brain trying to think how a multiplexer could POSSIBLY be useful. until i saw this video, and learned that they operate at a high frequency! thanks great scott

Is there another multiplexer close enough to the TLC5940 that can be used in case this multiplexer isn't available?
Thanks in advance, Scott

How does this compares to an analog multiplexer like, 74HC4051n DIP-16? trying to wrap my head around understanding the logic behind multiplexing

Thanks for the amazing videos, amazon links don't load anymore, can you fix them or post the items being used for this project! looks exciting

Awesome tutorials
Can you please tell that is it possible to get the arduino code which is uploaded on our board to our laptop?

Hello. I would really like to ask, why you have pull-up resistor with gate and 5v? Isn't the code wrote like: LOW (active)?
